DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
[Docket No. FR-5100-FA-24]
Announcement of Funding Awards Fair Housing Initiatives Program
Fiscal Year 2007
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal
Opportunity, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, HUD.
ACTION: Announcement of funding awards.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989, this announcement
notifies the public of funding decisions made by the Department for
funding under the SuperNotice of Funding Availability (SuperNOFA) for
the Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2007.
This announcement contains the names and addresses of those award
recipients selected for funding based on the rating and ranking of all
applications and the amount of the awards.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Myron Newry, Director, FHIP Support
Division, Office of Programs, Room 5230, 451 Seventh Street, SW.,
Washington, DC 20410. Telephone number (202) 708-2215 (this is not a
toll-free number). A telecommunications device (TTY) for hearing and
speech impaired persons is available at 1-800-877-8339 (this is a toll-
free number).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968,
as amended, 42 U.S.C. 3601-19 (the Fair Housing Act) charges the
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development with responsibility to
accept and investigate complaints alleging discrimination based on
race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national
origin in the sale, rental, or financing of most housing. In addition,
the Fair Housing Act directs the Secretary to coordinate with State and
local agencies administering fair housing laws and to cooperate with
and render technical assistance to public or private entities carrying
out programs to prevent and eliminate discriminatory housing practices.
Section 561 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987,
42 U.S.C. 3616, established FHIP to strengthen the Department's
enforcement of the Fair Housing Act and to further fair housing. This
program assists projects and activities designed to enhance compliance
with the Fair Housing Act and substantially equivalent State and local
fair housing laws. Implementing regulations are found at 24 CFR part
125.
The Department announced under separate solicitations in the
Federal Register on January 18, 2007 (72 FR 11, pp 2396-2420 [General
Section]) and March 13, 2007 (72 FR 48, pp 11506-11523), the
availability of approximately $18,100,000 out of a FY 2007
appropriation of $20,000,000 and any potential recapture, to be
utilized for FHIP projects and activities with approximately $1,900,000
designated for continuation of contracts with activities for the sixth
option year under the Accessibility First Project, formerly the Project
for Training and Technical Assistance Guidance (PATTG), and other
contracts. However, the Office of Management and Budget (Congress)
issued a Recession Order and $200,000.00 was charged against the
initial appropriation resulting in a reduced appropriation of
$19,800,000. Accordingly, the amount available for contracts was
reduced to $1,700,000. Funding availability for discretionary grants
follows: the Private Enforcement Initiative (PEI/$14,000,000) and the
Education and Outreach Initiative (EOI) ($4,100,000).
This Notice announces awards of approximately $18,100,000 to 88
organizations and $1,700,000.00 to three contractors.
The Department reviewed, evaluated and scored the applications
received based on the criteria in the FY 2007 SuperNOFA. As a result,
HUD has funded the applications announced in Appendix A, and in
accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of Housing and
Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (103 Stat. 1987, 42 U.S.C. 3545),
the Department is hereby publishing details concerning the recipients
of funding awards in Appendix A of this document.
The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Number for currently
funded Initiatives under the Fair Housing Initiatives Program is
14.408.
Dated: November 13, 2007.

Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity.
